i left my conscience like a crying child
locked the door behind me put the pain on file broken like a window i see my blindness now i need love not some sentimental prison i need god not the political church i need fire to melt the frozen sea inside me i need love driving into town tired and depressed like a flare the streetlight bursts into an s.o.s. peace comes to my rescue i don't know what it means i need love |

If I close my eyes
I'm afraid I won't wake up If I stop and listen I'm afraid I'll hear too much Trying to hold on to the earth Holding on for what it's worth I've got a long black cadillac marble hot tub in the back Champagne waterfall solid gold question mark twenty feet tall Try to paint a world of shapes Over the holes as we're falling The tightened grip is our mistake As we're trying to hold on to the earth Looking for his name wet on brave lips carved on road Look for flame and mercy Hope that tired hands can hold |

I got myself so tightly ound I couldn't breathe
I could feel the fire burning underneath I wanted to get lost and love the questions there Beauty and the truth I could breathe like air Then I finally found the signposts in a strange land Logic dances you from here to there not very far Making sense can't tell you where you are I wanted to get lost and love the questions there Beauty and the truth I could breathe like air Then I finally found the signposts in a strange land |

am I your pussycat? I know what's new
it's the oldest hat in the book we can't get fast enough to go backwards totake a second look animals on wheels faster all the time some want to leave us and go to another planet and blow up the earth they'd still be murderous, lying and they'd want it all for whatever it's worth famous is fast you don't have to be talented or do good work or be smart it's perfect for me but everytime I go after it my ideals run off with my heart |

the trees are listening each time a missile's made
they hide three mystics the earth sends from her grave to tell us the future has been stolen away by diggers, drillers and sellers but we won't stop 'till we're under a black sky he took my picture int he cemetery sun my body was tempted to crumble into one reunion of dust until creation's done returning ashes to ashes we won't stop 'till we're underneath a black sky the commerce the intrigue self-slaughtered souls cry out to dead poor men for a drink at the water hole but their tongues will burn dry as the day they were sold for forests raped into deserts we won't stop 'till we're underneath a black sky |

Flame why do I come so close to you
Vain telling me what I shouldn't do I saw you smoldering before I let him burn me to the floor - flame Flame why do you paralyze my soul Pain if I hold you or let go There's nothing bluer than your heat You make the night bleed at your feet - flame Break my fall into this wild fire of love Stolen from dreams Flame why do I dance so close to you Stained with the longing of a fool When fires rise the shadows fall Over the edges where we crawl - flame |

the first time he saw her was through a telescope
a misfit cactus filled with bottled hope he answered like a sick man getting out of bed suspicion and thirst curiosity and dread the blindness in control freeze the fatal bullet as we're falling through a hole in time one night he came home and found the house burning through the frozen smoke he saw the earth turning a curtain of silence fell on deaf ears a dream from the past was echoing through the years the blindness in control freeze the fatal bullet as we're falling through a hole in time |

Two men with empty pockets put lipstick on a little girl
and another dream goes by they make her ride the rockets that fall into a sea of pearl and another dream goes by power stealing through fading out of view our cruel inventions the beat generation all got on the morning train and another dream goes by they left me at the station breathing dust from hopeless rain and another dream goes by un-invent the wheel of endless greed let conscience run like a river like a dreamer a world of elevators with music like magazines and another dream goes by magnetic separators divided by a wall of screens and another dream goes by |

he wants to keep in contact

if i said i believe my eyes
and science can move my soul if i said i'm not afraid to die and i don't need you i'd be lying if i said the way he looks at me doesn't make me want to undress if i said i could leave you now and go where i could forget i'd be lying i've been lying all my life with silence and i need to find the words to tell you if i said i don't want what i don't have and all the answers are enough if i said i believe in myself and that's enough i'd be lying |

Shotgun alleys with lightning flowers
Under the eyes of fallen statues Dry blood they've never seen Pain is sharper when i suspect That true love runs looking for us Like a lion in our dreams The strawberry road Where the dream fades Is down between our longing and desire The strawberry road Where our hearts break into love You censor longing and organize beauty Because you're afraid You want it more than oxygen or light You can't get there with your morals Or without love Lie down with me The rules aren't always right Strawberry road Where the dream fades Is down between our longing and desire The strawberry road Where our hearts break into love (2x) Call it romance or nostalgia The hunder behind our memories We've buried it in code The things we've wanted When we get them are never enough Never what they seem But they lead us to the road Strawberry road Where the dream fades Is down between our longing and desire The strawberry road Where our hearts break into love |
